If you ask 100 people and 60 say they are students, then you would assume that 60/100 people in town as a whole are students.  To estimate the non-student population, you would infer that the other 40 are not students, thus making the non-student to student ratio 40:60 or 2:3 when simplified.  This means that for every 2 non-students, there are 3 students.  If we multiply 2000 by this 2:3 ratio, we would see that 2/3*2000 = the non-student population.The non-student population is estimated at 1,333.

The rule to remember about generating the perpendicular family to a line is we swap the coefficients on and x and y, remembering to negate one of them. Then the constant is set directly from the intersecting point.


So we have


y = 3x + 2


-3x + 1y = 2


Swapping and negating gets the perpendiculars; the constant is as yet undetermined.


1x + 3y = constant


Since we want to go through (0,2), we could have just written


x + 3y = 0 + 3(2) = 6


3y = -x + 6


y = (-1/3) x + 2


Third choice

How do you find the slope of a line?<br><br> (Change in Y / Change in X)
sukhopar [10]
In order to find the slope of a line, u must use the slope formula. Which is (y2-y1/x2-x1). For example if you had a set of coordinates that are (6,4) and (2,8) you would first sub the 8 from4 which gives you 4. The u do the same with 2 and 6 which gives u 4. After that you divide 4 by 4. and your answer is 1
